WEDNESDAY, MARCH 0, 1012. THOUGHT VOK TO-DAY. Tho blessed work of helping tho world forward happily does not wait to bo done by perfect men. Eliot. Tho fire laddies again had occasion to demonstrate their ability In flro fighting Sunday morning by confining tho flames to tho Erk building, do pite tho windy night and tho cold weather that provalled. Tho firemen had a stubborn flro to conquer and It was accomplished only by hard and porslstcnt work upon their part. Congratulations should also bo extonded to tho ladies who propared coffee, the boy scouts who served it and to tho night engineer at the electric light station, who so distinctively blew the alarm, informing the public of tho location of the flro. Wo do not ap prove, however, of the successive blowing of tho gong. DELAWARE AND HUDSON CATECHISM. What Is Honesdalo giving tho Delaware and Hudson company. A great big share of Its passenger and freight service. What does the Delawaro and Hudson company say concerning Its Honesdale branch? That It does not pay and that it Is receiving all tho freight and pas senger service that a branch road is entitled to. Will tho Honesdalo people swallow that kind of a pink pill? No, because the sugar Is worn off. When did the Delaware and Hudson railroad run two freight trains a day in and out of Honesdalo? When the freight was considered much lighter than it Is to-day. Will this company go back to Its old schedule? Not until another railroad entering Honesdalo gets Its formor freight patrons. Is there any danger of this? Oh, yes. Is It true that extra crewa and engines aro required to handle tho rogular Honesdalo freight trains? It Is. How can the Honesdalo shippers restoro this service? By co-operation and demanding their rights. Aro they assured of any assistance in tho matter? Yes, tho undivided efforts of tho Business Men's Association, tho Board f Trado and tho editorial support of Tho Honesdalo Citizen. FOR BETTER FREIGHT SERVICE. On Monday tho Delawaro and Hudson railroad company took us ini tiative towards better freight service for Honesdale and branch shippers. Tho morning train duo hero at 11:15 now reaches Honesdalo nearly two hours earlier, and leaves hero sooner In tho afternoon, which Is not exactly what tho shippers desire. "Restore to us the old schedule," Is their slo gan. Honesdale formerly enjoyed this service and why should It bo de prived of it now? The company admits that Its freight traffic Is heavier now than It was when two freight trains were operated. Why then are tho merchants and shippers compelled to suffer because the company wants to cut down running expenses and in turn give Inferior service? Honesdale is producing more freight to-day than over and the Delaware and Hudson system is not treating the merchants fair and square. It Is imposing upon them as has been the case since only one freight has been running dally. Honesdale Is growing and it wants the Delaware and Hud ion company to grow with It. In order to do so an additional freight train to handle its large and growing output necessarily must follow. The plan as suggested In Tho Citizen a fow weeks ago can be worked out to good advantage and the service would bo unequalled. In a nut hell It was as follows: Operate tho Scranton freight to Honesdale Instead of Carbondale; lay here a few hours and then return to Scranton via Carbondalo. The Honesdalo freight train, now being run (on almost any ehedule) from Carbondalo to Honesdalo bo transferred from that city to Honesdale and operate from this place, going to Scranton via Carbondale, roturning to Honesdale tho same evening. This would give Ideal servlco and insure more business for tho Delawaro and Hudson company. Jooooooooooooooji PEOPLE'S FORUM.

It is iialiiied by several members of ono hoso company that If tho lire plug opposite Erk Bros, store had not been frozen tho lire could havo boon p..l out ten minutes aftor It wns dis colored. If tho Wator company can not "afford" to do It, It would bo a paying Investment for tho town coun cil, In iho winter timo nt least. This ono lesson ought to bo enough. A KICKER.

Mr. Editor: I would Hkn tn st.itn In rninr1 In tho electric lights being all out ten! years ago, during tho flood, as mon- tinned in a recent issue of thoi Wayno Independent, that tho electric! lights wore not nil out.

Thoro was a Cx4xG duplex steam pump running under 5 feet of water In tho cellar at thnt time. It tho pump had failed to work, thon tho plant necessarily would havo had to shut down, which was not tho case. G. E. HELSTEIN.

When ex-presldent Roosevelt announnced his receptive candidacy for tho presidential nomination last week, ho became ono of tho two leading candidates whose names are to bo presented to tho Chicago convention next June. Others are not yet out of the race; La Folletto, Hughes, and Cum mins still have their adherents, and the present situation may bo material ly changed beforo tho date of tho convention. As it stands to-day, how ever, tho struggle Is between the forces of Roosevelt on tho ono hand, and those of Taft on tho other. It is for thinking Rpubllcans to decide which ono of these two men best represents tho policies and tho Ideals of tho party and is best adapted to carry those policies and Ideals into practico and effect. It has become the custom In this country, not only In tho presidential olllce but in most other ofllces, when tho practico Is not pro hibited by law, for a party to reward a faithful public servant by nominat ing lnm for a second term. It Is a ratification of his conduct of tho office, and an expression of conlidenco In his faithfulness and ability. To dony him this honor is to disapprove of his public conduct and to condemn his record. If President Taft has been a faithful and competent public ser vant and has done all that is in his power to carry out tho pledges mado by his party to the people, ho Is, according to party custom, entitled to a renomlnatlon. Tho burden, therefore. Is upon ex-President Roosevelt and his followers to prove that not only has President Taft failed In his ad ministration of the affairs of tho country, not only would It bo a detriment to tho country to renominate and elect him, but also that tho personality and policies of Mr. Roosevelt aro bo far superior to those of Mr. Taft, and aro so much moro likely to commend thomsolves to tho voters of tho United States, that it is incumbent upon tho Republican party for its own uccess and for the welfare of tho poople generally to nomlnato Mr. Roose velt at Chicago. Looking upon the matter dispassionately and wholly without prejudice Tho Citizen believes that this will bo a difficult burden for the Roosevolt forces to sustain. It would bo hard to point out In what material respect President Taft has failed to carry out faithfully the policies of his party and the platform on which ho was elected. Ha has eonducted his high offico with fearlessness and with marked ability. He has been absolutely true to all the vital principles of his party. Tho most that his severest critics can say against him Is that In somo minor matters ho has permitted himself to bo deceived by those upon whoso judgment and faithfulness ho had a right to roly. But that the Interests of tho party or the country havo suffered at his hands no fair-minded critic can Justly charge. That the party and the country will be safe In his hands as a leader for another term, no candid obsorvor of his administration during the last three years will doubt. Under these circumstances it will bo dif ficult for the Roosevelt element in the party to prove to the people that a crisis Is on which demands a new leader of the type of Roosevelt, or that tho party or the people would bo better off with such a loader than they would be under the leadership of President Taft whose administrative and constructive ability has homo tho test of a trying period in the nation's affairs. Roosevelt's Candidacy. Roosevelt has becomo an arrant, even a dangerous demagogue. His speech at Lolumbus, mauo as a fore runner of his candidacy, was a vici ous, high-handed attack on institu tions and forms of government that havo mado this nation what it Is to-1 day. Many of Its doctrines went lar beyond the radicalism of tho ex tremists of that wild-eyed school' and astounded thoso who had class ed Roosevelt as sane In his political views. Even Bryan, lather of more political fallacies than any man alive, found Roosevelt going far be yond him, and can fairly count him self a conservative compared with this new apostle of unrest. That Columbus speech, a tirade against tho Constitution, holding up to ridl-, cule the Supreme Court of tho laud, proved Roosevelt is no longer a Re publican. Ho has read himself out of the party and tho strong men of tho party will rejoice at it. They know now whore Roosevolt stands, know what manner of man he is, know that he cannot bo trusted. Roosevelt's announcement will add to the strength of Taft. Baltimore American. Death of Emll Persbacker. Emll Persbacker.
